One thing I hate about a lot of baseball fans/analysts/players is that anytime anyone tries something drastically different many of them will whine about "tradition" and how changing things is bad for the game.

its funny you always hear it, but one of the great things about baseball is that it has so many different minds trying to come up with new ideas. Its awesome

It was another incredible effort from the 23-year-old, who allowed just one hit in the victory. Reyes has dominated his rehab, logging a perfect 0.00 ERA with 44 strikeouts over 23 minor league innings. The right-hander's return to St. Louis is imminent. It took him roughly 14 months to recover from Tommy John surgery.

According to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports, Andrew Moore is part of the return package going to the Rays in the deal for Alex Colome and Denard Span.

The 23-year-old hurler was a second round pick by the Mariners in the 2015 draft. He has struggled in a small sample at the big league level, but owns a 3.04 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 47/14 K/BB ratio across 50 1/3 innings at Double-A Arkansas this season.

Russell Martin will make his first career start at shortstop in Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Martin has appeared in one game at the position in his career, logging one inning defensively earlier this year. He has been a disaster at the plate this season, slashing .157/.287/.322 with five homers and 13 RBI in 136 plate appearances.
